Met chief plans sex apology

BRITAIN’S top policeman, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, is to apologise to figures
falsely accused in the VIP child sex abuse scandal in a desperate attempt to
save his career.

The Metropolitan police commissioner has been described as a “dead man
walking” after he refused to say sorry in the face of mounting criticism
over the way allegations about an establishment paedophile ring were handled.

This weekend there were claims — hotly denied by Scotland Yard — that fellow
officers had turned against him at a private meeting last week.

Hogan-Howe will make a public apology to the war hero Lord Bramall and the
late former home secretary Leon Brittan in a bid to bring an end to the
public relations disaster that has engulfed him and the Met. The
commissioner is expected to speak out after Operation Midland, the Met’s
inquiry into the claims of a VIP paedophile ring, is wound up. It
